Stroud's Barbeque - Lebanon

You'd get five stars from me if you actually had Mac and cheese just ONE TIME. Who runs out Mac and cheese before 5:30pm EVERY SINGLE DAY for months? Strouds. A smart restaurant operator would alter their food prep and planning so that this doesn't happen. Going to start hitting Whitt's until further notice. Very annoying!

Average barbecue. There is not much seating, a very old building.

Extremely sub-par experience...poor customer service and unfriendly staff...then only saving grace was the food was fresh; however, at nearly $18 for a BLT (with only 1.5 slices of Bacon) bag of chips and SMALL (advertised as Medium) sweet tea this restaurant is WAY OVERPRICED and limited value.While the location may be convenient I would recommend that you only visit if you have any coupons to manage the expense; and also, ONLY IF the proprietor changes their serving sizes and offers reasonable portion sizes for the prices that they charge.I left hungrier than when I arrived with my wallet much thinner.

Barbecue Nachos were great! Banana pudding was good too, tiny serving though.

Went to Lebanon because I had several appts at wilson county Vanderbilt hospital. I live 1.5hrs away. When leaving at around 3:45, i was passing a strouds bbq. I frequent the strouds in cookeville but i live north west and wouldnt be going through ckvl on way home. I stopped and bought a value pack 1, pork with coleslaw. Got home took out of bag and there was one tiny cup of bbq sauce for 6 sandwiches? There was a tiny cup with brown water in it???? Have no idea what it was. When i took a taste of coleslaw it was the worst i have ever tasted. Just by looking at it, you can tell that some shredded fresh cabbage was added to what i guess was old rotten slaw as the new cabbage hadnt soaked up the dressing. It just tasted rotten. Threw the slaw out which i usually put on my pork sandwich and had to pull out the sweet baby rays sauce i had in fridge. Probably be a while b4 i revisit strouds in cookeville as the slaw left a very bad taste in my mouth and its not bbq without the sauce.
